Questions regarding the Aqua C Remora Pro Skimmer????? Please Help

My skimmer stinks!!!!

I skimped on the skimmer and got a Seaclone, so now I am not skimping. I learned my lesson.....a very hard way with a very wet floor

Anyway, I have looked into 2 skimemrs today, teh Coralife Super Skimmer, and the Aqua C Remora Pro.

I know a ton of people on RC like the Remora and that is the one I am leaning towards getting, but I really want to know a few things:

What do you like about the Remora Pro in comparison to other skimmers?

What don't you like about the Remora Pro in comparison to other skimmers?

Are there ever any problems I need to worry about regarding the O-ring around the cup?

How easy is the Remora to use in comparson to other skimmers (like the Super Skimmer)?

Sorry, I know it's a lot of questions, but I want to make sure I buy the right skimmer. I'm a bit concerned b/c a buddy of mine (mnestroy here at RC) has a Remora and I know he hates it.

Last question, I promise, anyone know of a quality place with decently fast shipping that I can get a Remora Pro online?

Thanks for taking the time to read this and answer my buttload of questions

I have this thread going on in the New hobby forum, but this is where I meant to post it.

I used a remora on my 75 gallon reef. I was very happy with the way this skimmer performed, however, I did not like the big box that is used to hide the pump & catch all of the microbubbles.
It is a well designed skimmer but if you have room under your canopy or in your sump, I would use a different model skimmer, just stick with Aqua C.
